I had several thoughts of what I’d use the pulp for before I got to the bottom & saw your brownie recipe-the 2 I think would work best are added to oatmeal and to granola snack. Also would probably work great in muffin and certain cookie recipes. Just a thought…
Thanks for sharing your great “simple” idea! I’ve done tshirts and those kitchen clothes and neither works well, so gave up!

You could certainly use almond meal, and I reckon it would be worth a try with the coconut pulp.

A lot of the purpose of the almond pulp, (apart from not having to throw it away), is for bulk. If you’ve ever eaten fresh almond pulp (yes, I have tasted it in the name of science) it’s quite bland and a bit like eating paper (yes, I’ve done that too). In other words, anything that is also bland and finely ground, like say coconut milk pulp, should work too.

And maybe the coconut pulp will give it a nice extra boost of coconut as well (although the chocolate flavour is quite strong).

For this recipe, I’ve been adding it fresh (in other words, using it straight after making milk), but I’m sure you could also dry the pulp and then rehydrate it when you’re ready to use it by adding back some water. I have LOTS of dried almond pulp, and doing it this way would allow you to make fudge whenever you feel like it, so this might be an experiment worth doing!

I’m sure you could give another nut a try – maybe macadamias, or brazil nuts – and adding more coconut would be delicious too. You might even be able to use sunflower seeds in place of the cashews. I haven’t made it with anything else, but I’d love to know how it goes.

I used 1 cup of Brazil nut pulp, 1 cup Brazil nuts, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 2/3 cup of cacao powder, 1/2 cup of agave nectar and 1/4 cacao nibs- and spreader a light layer of agave nectar on top and popped in freezer- delicious :). Would of made almond, but these were the materials I had. Great recipe :)!!

Absolutely, you could use honey, and I think it would work well. In fact, I’d say you could use any liquid sweetener, including honey (not vegan, raw if you can), coconut nectar, maple syrup (not raw), yacon syrup or whatever you prefer. Just try it and see how it goes. But I think you’ll be fine.

These are the best sweet treat I have had using leftover almond milk pulp. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I used a cookie scoop to make “balls” and then store them in a container in the freezer using wax paper to separate the layers. They could also be rolled in ground nuts or cocoa for a fancier presentation. I have also used silicone ice cube molds to press the dough into and when set, I release them and store in a container in the freezer.Now I don’t dread making the almond milk because I know that the pulp won’t be sitting in the fridge waiting for me to get inspired!!

hi robin
i made these today, and all i can say is they are yummy. i added honey to the recipe instead of agava, and i didnt have any coconut. but they stll tasted good, they will be on my favourite list from now.

just made this and instead of putting in a tray rolled them into good size balls and rolled in crushed almonds then froze x they taste just like the ‘energy balls’ sold at local health food shop …Divine, But a fraction of the cost !!! Thank you Debi

I have used this recipe twice and my whole family (who are not so keen on the raw vegan lifestyle as I am) can’t get enough of it. On both occasions I have used maple syrup rather than agave as that was what I had to hand. Thanks so much for this recipe.

Nikki, thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I am just starting out on my new lifestyle and was seriously worried about having to miss out on sweet treats and chocolate. This also helps my frugal tendencies as nothing from making the almond milk is wasted.

This recipe was so easy to make – I didn’t have any agave so used maple syrup instead – and it completely satisfies my after dinner sweet tooth; helping me stick to my new lifestyle is so much easier.

I think to get the fudge brownie to set more firmly, you might just need something that absorbs some of the moisture, like flax meal (which would also help to bind it together), or maybe even chia seeds / meal. You might even find that adding some extra shredded coconut helps.

You could also try adding some coconut flour, seeing as it’s already got coconut in it, and that will definitely absorb moisture. It wouldn’t bind as well as flax, and I don’t know how it would change the texture.

You could try agar or irish moss, but it might add a slightly strange texture to the fudge brownie.

Also make sure your almond milk pulp is as “squished out” as you can make it.

I am a new vegan. I am doing this for my health. After eating meat for over 64 years I have changed and now follow a full vegan life style. Since I am not a cook, I am learning from scratch and I love working on new kitchen ideas and recipes. I love this recipe. Thank you for posting it, I am in the process of making my own soy milk and next will be my own almond milk. But I hate to throw out left overs. This solves the problem.

Tried it yesterday. Very more ish . Used a little honey instead of nectar, probably a few less dates as I was bored with pitting. Might try adding more cashew or coconut or some dry almonds or ? next time Just to make it a little less sticky.

My favourite cookbooks

My favourite kitchen gadgets

Having the right gadgets has totally changed my experience in the kitchen.

High-speed blender

I use my Vitamix blender at least 2-3 times EVERY day. It's fast, so versatile and super quick and easy to clean. I couldn't live without mine. I absolutely love it!

Food processor

I use my powerful food processor three or four times a week, for making nut butters, desserts, sauces, burgers and more. It's great for large batches and dishes that need texture and just makes "cooking" so much faster.

Dehydrator

I use my 5-tray Excalibur dehydrator once or twice a week, for crackers, breads, biscuits, cakes or even just for thawing things. It does an awesome job and makes eating raw SO much easier.
